Dean of Girls C. L. Jonhs. Principal DOROTHY FLEGEL Dean of Boys ROY MALO MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1955 Each citizen should give thoughtful consideration both to the allegiance he owes his country and to the bountiful gifts bestowed upon him by our nation. No nation or government can stand unless its people are both familiar with and active in the support of its philosophy and its beliefs. Freedoms and rights granted by our constitution must be jealously guarded and vigorously maintained. Our entire history is filled with stories of patriotic people who have given their lives that this young and ever-growing nation might preserve for itself, a. for the world at large, the dignity andrespect for the individ- ual. Throughout the years, challenge after challenge has been met and surmounted. Our generation--like those that have gone before--faces its problems. World leadership is an exacting taskmaster. All eyes are focused upon our every gesture, movement or declara- tion. Our beliefs are being soul-searched; our institutions, examined minutely; and our will to protect our heritage at all cost is being appraisedby friend and foe alike. The thoughtful silence which greets the parting of the curtains on our present- day historical drama is vibrant with portent. We, the actors, must play our respective parts courageously and positively, emboldened by the knowledge that our country, with its per- sonal freedoms, offers to its world audience a way of life— second to none. 9
